Get someone else to confirm the # of Pro Bowls.
Can you get someone else to confirm this with you? Maybe someone on a higher level, cause it seems like you are the only one defending your point, and trying to be rather desperate. I'm not sure if I can believe you or not on this one, since the Seahawks article isn't really that trustworthy to me. Any article like that can have errors inside, especially from a team site. Pro Football Reference is honestly more credible then something like that, but you need someone else to back you up. It doesn't sound reasonable for just one person to back something up.

- I posted 3 official sources in the above discussion (Seahawks.com article, Seahawks Media Guide on nfl.com, and the official NFL instagram) which all corroborate 6x Pro Bowls. I have also verified via email with the NFL Communications Coordinator, Jacob Gellerman. I'm not sure what more verification is even possible to be honest. Pro-Football-Reference is not an official NFL database, it's a private site. I'd welcome anyone to contact Gellerman or someone else at the NFL if you want additional verification. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 01:07, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- ...well...if you did manage to talk to the NFL Communications Coordinator, then I guess I might not have an agreement much anymore. You should still maybe get an official quote from him or something of the sort to confirm this. However, you should also get another Wikipedia editor to agree with you, because this is a very controversial subject. The fact that more people disagree with you then actually agree (that's how I see it) is concerning. You might have to add something where the 2014 season has to be a "special occasion" where he was selected to the Pro Bowl, even though replacements are not counted if they don't actually play in the game. (That's the golden rule, you can look this up.) I never heard of that weird rule you were talking about, nor is it really mentioned in the articles. You sound completely bias when 2 of those articles are from Seattle sources, and the fact that you are a fan of his. (I checked your contributions, most of your edits over the last few years revolved around him.) It just looks too convenient. You would look better if you got another editor to defend you. That was the point of my previous post. The Gamer 91 (talk) 9:39, 3 February 2019 (CT)
- Wikipedia content is driven by WP:RELIABLE. A million people could disagree on this talk page and it wouldn't matter unless it was in a reliable published source. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 21:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

- Wrong. Official NFL and Seahawks sources credit Wilson with 7 Pro Bowls, as I already proved above. Pro-Football-Reference is a private website, not an official NFL source. If you have an official NFL source saying otherwise, please share it. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 11:46, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Aqwfyj: Just a heads up, the link provided is from the official NFL YouTube channel stating Wilson just earned his 6th Pro Bowl selection. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:18, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Russel Wilson's Affordable Care Act promotion
Why does his profile not say he stared in a video for Obama care enrollment? Coldman48 (talk) 04:57, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
- You could make a reasonable argument why it should be added, but it would probably make the most sense as part of a larger "Political views" section. It could include additional facts like how he accepted an invite to one of President Obama's State Dinners, said he was voting for Hillary Clinton, said he'd support a gay teammate, appeared in a video promoting Michelle Obama's healthy eating campaign, and said he thought President Trump might not last 4 years. Although I'm not sure Wilson is particularly well known for his political beliefs or activism. I'm curious what other people think. aqwfyj Talk/Contribs 11:41, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
